4. In the Tools panel, select the Brush tool ( ). In the options bar, select a 60 -pixel brush
with a Hardness of 0.
5. Press Alt or Option to temporarily switch to the Eyedropper tool. Sample a green color
from the forehead. Then release the Alt or Option key to return to the Brush tool.6. Ctrl-click or Command-click the thumbnail in the Franken layer to select its contents.Usually, you select an entire layer in the Layers panel. When you do that, the layer is active, but
there isn’t actually an active selection. When you Ctrl-click or Command-click the thumbnail of
the layer, Photoshop selects the contents of the layer, so you have an active selection. It’s a quick
way to select all of the contents of a layer—but only the contents of that specific layer.
7. Make sure Layer 1 is still selected in the Layers panel, and then use the Brush tool to paint
over the hands and arms. You can paint quickly where the hands are against transparent
areas, because painting outside the selection has no effect. However, remember that the
shirt is part of the selection, so you need to be more careful as you paint the skin where it
abuts the shirt colors.Tip
To change the brush size as you paint, press the bracket keys on your keyboard. The
Left Bracket key ([) decreases the brush size; the Right Bracket (]) increases it.
